[Westways by S. Weir Mitchell]@TWC D-Link bookWestways CHAPTER X 16/62
God will take care of you--He is sure.
Some day you will do some wickedness worse than this--you just look at me." There was for Peter fearful fascination in the black face of the man who stood looking down at him, the jaw moving, the white teeth showing, the eyes red, the face twitching with half-suppressed passion.

I'm lost--lost.
